When and how did you get started in Cosplay?
I started in late 2013, AFA2013 was my debut
What was your first Cosplay?
Pandora from Saint Seiya in 2013 for AFA2013
What was the most difficult character?
Dark Dragoon Forte from Rage of Bahamut, definitely.
What characters are you planning and type of character are you drawn to?
For girls, I love the serious but secretly a softy type. Good bodies are plus plus ultra. For guys, I have a fetish for white hair guys lol.
What is your process when starting from the beginning with a new cosplay?
For me, I like to have a systematic plan to work with: watch/read to understand the character, gathering photos for reference, planning all the steps required to make the costume/props, listing materials to hunt, making patterns, cutting sand priming foam, painting and weathering, cutting and sewing the fabric, etc. Omg it goes on and on I can't even list out all of them
Are there any helpful hints in sewing, costume design or any other aspects of your cosplay that you discovered in doing your creations?
So what I discovered for both armour as well as costume making is that: it's definitely very important to follow the design accurately, but at the same time, you should also pay attention to your own body's proportions. It's because we are the ones who are gonna wear the cos, thus we should adjust it to our own bodies so that it fits nicely and looks proportional.
Do you have a preferred brand of makeup in your cosplay? And if so why?
I tend to use a combination of various brands, but my favourite would be NARS for base make-up coz they're light and the coverage is natural; Morphe for eyeshadow palette coz god damn they're dirt cheap for such quality; Anatasia Beverly Hills too becoz man they are so pigmented I don't think I can even finish them; Catrice and Wet & Wild for good quality drug store products at suprisingly good price, etc.
